Editing Nebuchadnezzar II (section)

===Other===
Nebuchadnezzar is referred to as {{transliteration|ar|Buḫt Nuṣṣur}} ({{lang|ar|بخت نصر}}) in works of the mediaeval scholar [[Al-Tabari|al-Ṭabarī]], where he is credited with conquering Egypt, Syria, Phoenicia and Arabia. The historical Nebuchadnezzar never conquered Egypt, and it appears that al-Ṭabarī transferred to him the achievements of the Assyrian king Esarhaddon ({{reign | 681 | 669}}).<ref>{{cite book |last= Retsö |first=Jan |date= 2013 |title= The Arabs in Antiquity: Their History from the Assyrians to the Umayyads |url= https://archive.org/details/the-arabs-in-antiquity-their-history-from-the-assyrians-to-the-umayyads | pages= 187–89 |location= [[London]], [[United Kingdom | UK]]; [[New York City]], [[United States | US]] |publisher= [[Routledge]] | isbn= 978-1-136-87289-1 | via = Archive}}</ref> In similar fashion [[Strabo]], citing [[Megasthenes]], mentioned in a list of mythical and semi-legendary conquerors, a ''Nabocodrosor'' as having led an army to the [[Pillars of Hercules]] and being revered by the [[Chaldea| Chaldaeans]].<ref>
